Description:
------------
Tested on PHP7.0.8 ubuntu 16.04.3 @ 2017-03-30

isset() is incorrectly retuning false (should return true) when checking array key that has its value set to boolean.

I tested the below script on different version of PHP and always get true with an exception to 7.0.8


Test script:
---------------
Code:
$params['entry']['attributes'] = array(
    'enabled' => true
);

var_dump(isset($params['entry']['attributes']['enabled']));

$whatIsGoingOn = $params['entry']['attributes']['enabled'];

var_dump(isset($whatIsGoingOn));

var_dump(array_key_exists('enabled', $params['entry']['attributes']));

Output:
bool(false) 
bool(true) 
bool(true)

Expected result:
----------------
bool(true) 
bool(true) 
bool(true)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false) 
bool(true) 
bool(true)

Seems to working fine. https://3v4l.org/uKiR6

You tried with that *exact* script? Are you using any zend_extensions? Any difference with opcache enabled and disabled?

reported for PHP Version: 7.0.17

so what does that mean?

"I tested the below script on different version of PHP and always get true with an exception to 7.0.8" - m yunderstanding is that this only happens on the Ubuntu build, not with a recent PHP release and so is not a current upstream pug?

No, that link tests all recent versions of PHP. Read the page.

If it works in all versions except 7.0.8 then there's nothing to do because that's an old version and we're on 7.0.17 now. Can't go back in time.
Though I still doubt this problem actually exists.

Same issue experienced on Ubuntu 16.04 and PHP 7.0.15 and 7.1.3,
BUG:
isset is returning false when checking on boolean, this is inncorect, isset should return true on boolean value.


var_dump($sectionName);
var_dump(isset($params['entry']['attributes']['enabled']));
var_dump($params['entry']['attributes']['enabled']);

output:
string(4) "team"
bool(false)
bool(true)

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.
